HC Deb 17 August 1911 vol 29 c2228W
Mr. LUNDON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland how many Catholics and Protestants respectively are entitled to sit as permanent magistrates on the bench at Bruff, county Limerick; and what are their names?

Mr. BIRRELL

I am informed that there are eighteen persons holding the ordinary commission of the peace who have been authorised to attend the Bruff Petty Sessions, and of those seven are believed to be Roman Catholics and eleven to belong to other denominations. It is not the practice to state the religious denominations of individual magistrates.
